I was scheduled to fight in November of 2008 in a kickboxing show called XMA. There were some controversies that happened between my management team as well as some of the promoters as far as setting up the fights. There was some talk of Ken Shamrock but nobody else had talked to Ken about it as far as the promoting.
Shawn TompkinsI look at Anderson Silva and he can fight moving forward, he can fight moving backward, and he can fight moving left or right. It's something that I don't think anyone else in the sport other than Chuck Liddell has really been able to do.
Shawn TompkinsWe need more guys that are solid talents all around and Frank Mir proved himself and I don't think anyone is going to second guess him every again.
Shawn TompkinsI follow K-1 closely and also train Ray Sefo. My heart is with K-1 and I love the sport of standup kickboxing.
